The Medical City, Maxicare partner for new healthcare plan

February 12, 2018

The Medical City (TMC) and Maxicare Healthcare Corporation (Maxicare), both recognized leaders in the medical services industry, launched today a first-of-its-kind healthcare plan that will revolutionize the delivery of medical services for TMC patients and Maxicare members.

The healthcare plan dubbed “TMC Partner Care” is a project initiated by Maxicare, with TMC as its exclusive partner health institution. It marks a first exclusive partnership between a hospital and a health maintenance organization. TMC Partner Care powered by Maxicare seeks to provide Filipinos a better option in terms of the delivery of quality, efficient medical services, and value for money that only TMC and Maxicare can provide.

This full-risk, clinic-based healthcare plan covers both outpatient and inpatient services. It carries an Annual Benefit Limit (ABL) of P100,000 where pre-existing conditions, or illnesses/injuries that a member experiences even before the commencement of his HMO plan, are covered.

Sean Argos, Maxicare’s President and Chief Executive Officer, once said that “the goal of Maxicare is to provide convenient ways for members to access healthcare services.”Through this plan, a TMC Partner Care principal and his/her dependents and now bona fide Maxicare members can now access various services in TMC hospitals and clinics, including all Maxicare Primary Care Centers (PCC) nationwide. Thus, members are guaranteed of superior quality and wider healthcare coverage through this plan.

TMC Clinics and Maxicare PCCs are equipped with modern facilities and manned by skilled medical personnel capable of addressing a patient’s needs the same way a hospital can but, definitely, at lower costs. As for needed diagnostic, laboratory procedures or inpatient care in a TMC hospital, members simply need to get a referral from a TMC Clinic or Maxicare PCC physician prior to availing of the procedure.

Another unique feature of the TMC Partner Care plan is the 24/7 TeleConsult Service, an unlimited, all day, all week consultation service where members can talk to an actual physician for any medical advice needed.
